Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Water and Fire
Lu Jian didn't have time to think, turned over and got up, only to see that Yao Qing had been forced to the corner of the room.
Yan Zhihu didn't succeed even though he made ruthless moves, he felt surprised in his heart, suddenly felt that Yao Qing's sword was full of energy, which lasted for a long time, he couldn't help but suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that you also stole the 'chalcedony skill'." All of a sudden, he put his strength on the sword, and with a buzzing sound, he strangled the soft sword, and shouted: "Let's go."
Yao Qing's jaw was in severe pain, the soft sword flicked out from the palm of her hand, and stabbed danglingly on the desk.Yanzhihu laughed sharply, and was about to stab down with his long sword, when he heard a crash, he looked sideways, and saw a row of bookshelves pressing towards him.
This change was beyond Yan Zhihu's expectation, she saw the pages of the book flying around like snow, making it difficult for her to distinguish things, the side wind picked up her body in a panic, and she was hugged by the waist.Rouge Tiger was hugged by this, and his body froze.Yao Qing took the opportunity to go to the case and drew back her soft sword.Yanzhihu was startled and angry. He looked down, but it was Lu Jian who came. He immediately turned his sword and stabbed downwards. With a loud bang, he stabbed at the wall behind him.
Yan Zhihu was so startled that he didn't have time to draw his sword, his back suddenly felt cold, and a piece of soft sword came out from his chest.She groaned miserably, turned around and waved her palm, Yao Qing was overjoyed to kill the vengeful, she forgot to be on guard, being swept by this palm, even though she had the "chalcedony kung fu" to protect her body, she still felt unbearable pain, The soft sword was released again.
Yan Zhihu kicked Lu Jian away, looked down at the shining and shiny sword tip, and felt dizzy for a while: "Am I going to die..." Looking around, not only the study room, but also the huge Yaojiazhuang The things in my hands, if I die, all the hard-earned things will be in vain.
In an instant, her fear turned into unwillingness, and she uttered a long, shrill cry. Regardless of the soft sword still in her body, she stumbled and ran out, screaming: "Help, help..." She guessed that Yao Qing was stealing " "Duan Shui Sword Art", there is a murderous intent, intending to put Lu and Yao to death.She was also afraid that the two of them would yell and attract others, so before entering the study, she excused the surrounding servants and servants to leave. Although she kept yelling, no one answered.Looking back, she saw Yao Qing chasing after her, she was so frightened that she ran wildly.
Although the sword was not fatal, it pierced through the lungs. Once the Rouge Tiger ran and shouted, the blood would sizzle from the wound, leaving a long line of blood on the ground. Chasing after blood, never falling behind.Yanzhihu is usually cruel to others and has a lot of prestige. When the servants suddenly saw her with disheveled hair, bloody body, and a soft sword stuck in her chest, they were all trembling. They watched her running and calling for help, but none of them dared to step forward.
Seeing that Yan Zhihu was so violent, Yao Qing was frightened and angry, but she had endured the humiliation for many years to avenge her mother's death.
The two came to the front hall one after the other, and suddenly saw an elegant man walking out of the hall quickly, with slightly sunken eyes, high brows, dressed in a scarlet silk birthday robe, with a look of surprise on his face.When Yan Zhihu saw the man, he grabbed his sleeve and shouted: "Jiang Han, Jiang Han, miss is going to kill me..."
This good-looking man is Yao Jianghan, the owner of the villa. Yan Zhihu sneaked in after his wife died, and had been having an affair with him for many years. When his life was at stake, he even forgot his identity and called out his usual private nickname.Yao Jianghan frowned when he heard this, and suddenly Yao Qing shouted: "Father, don't listen to her nonsense, she is so powerful, how could my daughter kill her? She must have lost too much blood and her mind is confused."
Yao Jianghan turned his head and looked around, but saw his daughter standing pretty in the distance with a delicate appearance, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Chen, what Ah Qing said is that she doesn't know martial arts, how can she kill you?"
Yan Zhihu said anxiously: "She..." Suddenly felt the sharp pain in the wound, and couldn't speak anymore.Yao Qing saw the advantage, and hurriedly said: "Father, are you confused? Auntie's injury is so serious, don't hesitate to bandage her to stop the bleeding."
Seeing her concerned expression, Yao Jianghan had no doubts. He took a closer look and saw that the sword pierced through the left lung, and the blood gushed out, and he was no longer physiological. You, I will avenge you."
Yan Zhihu was seriously injured and ran, the blood flow was exhausted, and his lungs were injured again, so it was difficult to speak, so he had to point to Yao Qing, struggling to speak, but Yao Qing was the first to say: "I see, Auntie is saying that the thief who hurt her went to that place." The direction is running away." While talking, he pointed at the back randomly, and then said to Zhuang Ding: "What are you doing here? Why don't you chase..." Everyone didn't know what happened, and followed her pointing, bumping like headless chickens.
Yanzhihu was furious, he felt his eyes were dark, he mustered all his energy, and wanted to utter a word, Yao Qing had already stepped forward, and said sadly: "Daddy, if you don't save me, auntie will die..." After saying that, hold her The hilt of the sword drew out the soft sword with a whistling sound, Yanzhihu's air suddenly blew out, blood spattered three feet from the wound, only Yao Qing screamed: "Daddy, stop the bleeding."
Yao Jianghan put down the rouge tiger, stared at his daughter viciously, and said sharply: "Stupid girl, the person who is hit by the sword will die immediately when he draws the sword, don't you know?" Yao Qing also seemed to be stunned, and tremblingly said: "Why, she died Is it? Yes, I hurt her?" Yan Bixiu turned his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down his face, "I, I just think that if I don't draw my sword, how can I stop the bleeding..."
Yao Jianghan came to his senses when he heard the words: "That's right, this child doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't know anything about these killings. What do I blame her for?" Immediately patted her on the shoulder and sighed: "Forget it, those who don't know are innocent. Besides If you don't draw the sword, she will be too seriously injured to survive, and if you draw the sword earlier, it will be a relief."
Yao Qing was still weeping, Yao Jianghan watched and nodded secretly: "Xiao Chen usually cares for her a lot, and this child sheds tears for her, which shows that he is kind and righteous, and he lives up to Xiao Chen's teaching." Little did he know that Yao Qing was growing up at this time. The revenge was rewarded, and she wept with joy, and then remembered the grievances of her dead mother, so the more Yao Jianghan comforted her, the more she let out grief, and tears fell like rain.
Yao Jianghan's nature is cold and thin, and he was a little sad about Yan Zhihu's death at first, but it faded after a while. Seeing Yao Qing crying for a long time, he felt impatient, and shouted: "That friend, dare to come to my Yaojiazhuang to kill people. If you're really brave, come out and compete with Yao." He gathered his inner strength, and the whole village heard it.
No one responded for a long time, and a blue-robed Taoist next to him twitched his beard and said, "Benefactor Yao overestimated this murderer. Let me ask you in today's martial arts world. , that’s all. I’m afraid that the murderer would be frightened and run away dozens of miles away.”
All the guests laughed and said: "Not bad." Yao Jianghan felt comfortable being flattered by the Taoist priest, and sighed: "The Taoist Master Qingxuan is too much, how can Yao's subtle swordsmanship be in the eyes of Laoshan masters? .As for the words 'a thousand rivers do not flow', they are even more absurd praises from friends in the rivers and lakes, so don't mention them any more."
Taoist Qingxuan said with a smile: "Benefactor Yao is too modest. The benefactor is the number one sword in the south of the Yangtze River. Once a sword is released, a thousand rivers will flow. The flame knife can be said to be in the same era, each occupying the spring and autumn."
Yao Jianghan said indifferently: "The surnamed Pei is just a barbarian. He knows two tricks and three-legged cat knife skills, so he calls himself 'Hundred Days of Darkness'. He is clearly here for Yao. If he has time, Yao would like to go with him. Let’s take a walk and experience the customs beyond the Great Wall.”
There was a silence in the field, and all the guests looked at each other in blank dismay. Taoist Qingxuan didn't expect Yao Jianghan to be so conceited, and he flattered the horse's leg.He hurriedly laughed and said: "Although Pei Yuguan is as famous as the owner of the villa, they are not necessarily equal in ability. We only talk about weapons. , Although he is known as the commander of the army, no matter how brave the general is, he is just a pawn in the hands of the king. Pei Yuguan uses a knife as a weapon, and compared with the owner of the villa, his bearing is more than a little worse."
Seeing that he not only made up for the mistakes in the foreword lightly, but also improved his flattering skills, they all felt admiration in their hearts.Yao Jianghan felt even more refreshed physically and mentally, and laughed: "Then what is the Taoist priest using the gun?"
Before Taoist Qingxuan opened his mouth, Yao Jianghan cut off his mouth and said with a smile: "The gun is the thief in the army, and it is worthy of you, a sharp-toothed old thief."
Everyone burst into laughter.Daoist Qingxuan was furious in his heart, but then he thought again, if this Yao man hadn't regarded himself as a close friend, he would never have spoken so unscrupulously, and thinking about this man's wealth and reputation, it would be of great benefit to be close to him.Thinking of this, my mind calmed down, and I laughed along with everyone.
Yao Jianghan's face darkened suddenly, and he said in a loud voice: "The so-called soldiers come to be generals, and water comes to cover them up. Although there are enemies coming, we can't lose our temper. Drink the tea, talk as you say, and watch the show. Look at his grandma's return." What's the trick."
Immediately he ordered Zhuang Ding to collect Yanzhihu's body, Dama Jindao sat in the hall, and ordered Yao Qing to watch tea beside him to show that he was fearless.Everyone was apprehensive, but seeing his arrogance, they could only sit down separately.
Yao Jianghan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This troupe was specially invited by Yao from Kunshan with a lot of money. The music is wonderful and the people are beautiful. You have to look carefully." He asked the servant next to him, "What is the title of the next play?" " The boy said: "Hulao Pass."
"Good show." Yao Jianghan said with a smile, "Sanying fights against Lu Bu, which will show my spirit of a hero in the world."
But Yao Qing knew that she had no enemies, she had her revenge, she had no more worries, she only thought that Lu Jian was still in the study, and she didn't know if he was smarter, took advantage of the chaos and left, but couldn't get out, couldn't go voila.
While worrying, I suddenly saw that there was no drums or music on the opposite stage, and a young man in white armor came out, holding a painting halberd, walking slowly and step by step.
"This is Lu Bu?" Yao Jianghan frowned greatly, "I heard that guy is also a hero, how come he acted so alive."
Taoist Qingxuan laughed and said: "Lü Bu's three surnames are family slaves, unrighteous people. Although he is good at fighting on horseback, he may not be a match for the owner of the villa when he is off the horse."
"That's natural." Yao Jianghan nodded and said, "Even immediately, he may not be able to defeat the Taoist priest's soul-chasing gun." Taoist Qingxuan laughed loudly and praised him repeatedly.The two of them praised each other through the ancients, although everyone thought it was funny, no one dared to spoil their happiness.
It was quiet on that stage, "Lu Bu" was still turning around, his gait was strange, his left foot stepped forward, his right foot slowly dragged up until it was close to his left foot, and then he took another step with his right foot, left and right. Slowly keep up with your feet.
The more people in the audience watched, the more surprised they became. Yao Jianghan said angrily: "What's going on? Since it's Sanying fighting Lu Bu, what about Sanying? Since it's singing, where are the drums and gongs?"
As soon as the words were finished, "Lu Bu" suddenly jumped up for more than ten feet, and fell to the bottom of the stage, still walking towards the hall in a strange asynchronous way.
Zhuang Ding in front of the hall took a look and clamored: "It's the other way around, why did the actor get under the stage?"
The heroes in the hall were all eclipsed, this "Lu Bu" jumped more than ten feet, far beyond what an actor can do.Daoist Qingxuan stood up and shouted: "Bring the gun." As soon as he stretched out his hand, the Taoist boy beside him handed a rotten silver spear to his palm.
That "Lu Bu" walked faster and faster. "Stop him." All the Zhuang Ding shouted loudly, unexpectedly that "Lu Bu" opened his mouth suddenly, and spit out a water arrow like a silver bullet, which hit a Zhuang Ding on the forehead.That Zhuang Ding shook his body, his eyes suddenly became dull, like that "Lu Bu", he dragged his steps and walked towards the hall.
I saw "Lu Bu" opening his mouth frequently, Zhuang Ding was shot by water arrows whenever he got close, and then he looked strange and walked neatly, following him into the hall.
Seeing this situation, the heroes in the hall couldn't help turning pale, but Yao Jianghan kept his composure and said loudly, "What's your business?"
Those who were dragging their feet paused when they heard the words, and opened their mouths together: "Not empty, not empty." The voices were hoarse, very different from human voices.Yao Jianghan's hairs stood on end, and he shouted: "Not empty? Why not empty?"
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Taoist Qingxuan shook his gun suddenly, the tip of the gun was like a poisonous snake, piercing through the chest of "Lu Bu" silently.
All the heroes were fearful at first, but unexpectedly the Daoist Qingxuan succeeded with his shot, and they all cheered up, they were about to applaud, but suddenly they saw that "Lu Bu" had a tricky smile on his face, and his lips parted, everyone shouted: "Taoist, be careful."
Taoist Qingxuan had been on guard for a long time, and the tip of his spear withdrew, swept back like the wind.Unexpectedly, "Lu Bu" didn't shoot out any water arrows, but there was a rushing sound from his body, as if the water was swaying, but the place where he was shot was hollow, no blood flowed out.
Everyone was stunned by this vision, and suddenly saw two streams of clear springs leaking from "Lü Bu"'s mouth and wounds one after another, flowing all over the ground in a blink of an eye, and "Lü Bu" was like a drained skin bag, with skin and facial features slowly collapsing go down.
This situation is ten times weirder than before, seeing that the clear water on the ground is not flowing in all directions, but it seems to be stimulated by some invisible force, flowing straight like a line, towards Taoist Qingxuan.
Although Taoist Qingxuan's marksmanship is strong, he can only assassinate tangible objects. Facing the invisible water, he was dumbfounded, and suddenly he heard Yao Jianghan shout: "Quick back, don't touch that water." Qingxuan jumped back like a dream Unexpectedly, the water followed him like a shadow, and reached his feet in an instant.Unable to dodge in time, Qingxuan was quick to wit, he jumped up suddenly, with a snatching sound, the silver spear was nailed into the ground, and then made a somersault, standing on the end of the spear with one foot, with two sleeves Lingfeng, shaped like a goshawk with wings spread.
Seeing that he had come up with such a strange method, everyone couldn't help shouting "Hello".Qingxuan was shocked for the first time, he was applauded by the smell, and felt a little proud, just about to jump to the beam of the house, he suddenly felt cold feet, slightly damp.
When everyone saw Qingxuan standing on the tip of the gun, they seemed to be frozen and did not move.And that "Lu Bu" had sunken eyeballs, and his withered skin was pasted on his body like a piece of thin paper, making him look more like a skeleton, only the saliva gushing out from the wound.Suddenly, he thumped and fell back, and the people fell to the ground, but the water flowing on the ground seemed to have a spirituality, and it was still flowing forward, gathering under the gun.
Yao Jianghan's sharp eyesight suddenly felt that something was wrong. The water flowed to the tip of the gun and stopped flowing. At first he thought it was seeping into the ground along the hole of the gun, but now he realized that the water was actually flowing upstream until the end of the gun.Just because the gun is silver and the same color as the running water, I didn't realize it for a while.
Yao Jianghan groaned secretly, but suddenly heard a sound of Bo, Qingxuan's belt broke, and his body swelled up as if inflated with air. In an instant, the wide avenue robe was filled to the brim.
Swipe, Yao Jianghan draws his sword.
Peng, Qingxuan burst like a ball full of air, and blood rained everywhere, covering the sky and covering the ground.
But Yao Jianghan is faster, he is known as "a thousand rivers do not flow", and his swordsmanship is the fastest in the south of the Yangtze River.In an instant, six swords were struck, and the rain of blood seemed to be blocked by an invisible solid wall, and bounced away, forming a semicircle in front of him.
These six swords almost exhausted what Yao Jianghan had learned in his life. Even though he protected himself, he still felt weak all over.In the blink of an eye, one can't help but turn pale, the relatives and friends in the hall are silent, all of them have fallen to death, and the whole body is like invisible arrowheads, covered with fine blood holes.
Yao Jianghan was frightened and frightened, and shouted sharply: "Who is it? Who is it? What hatred do you have with Yao, why don't you come out and compete with him?" He turned around like crazy with his sword.Yao Qing was by his side, got the power of his six swords and escaped a catastrophe, but she was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits, suddenly seeing her father in such a state, she said urgently: "Father, run away."
Yao Jianghan shivered, and murmured: "That's right, run away." He turned around and pulled Yao Qing, and ran out of the hall, suddenly saw Zhuang Ding scattered in a semicircle in front of the hall, approaching, with swollen faces and dull eyes, It looked similar to that of "Lu Bu".Yao Jianghan had learned from the Taoist Qingxuan, how dare he stab again, hugged his daughter, and passed Zhuang Ding's head.Fall out of the hall.
As soon as his feet landed, Yao Jianghan suddenly gave a warning sign. When he turned around, he saw people standing in all directions, including Zhuang Ding's nursing home, maids and servants, and even actors invited from Suzhou, all of them looked dull, like walking dead Like dragging.
Yao Jianghan felt severe pain in his chest. He knew that there had been a great change in the village, and when he looked up again, he saw that the gate of the villa was tightly closed, and several big locks were locked from the inside.
Yao Qing also felt horrified, suddenly seeing her father's expression was dazed, the sword in his hand was slowly hanging down, and she hurriedly said: "Father, let's go quickly?"
Yao Jianghan smiled miserably and said: "Go? Where are you going? Didn't you see? They are going to destroy our Yaojiazhuang." Yao Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a deep chill: "Why did such a strange thing happen just after the death of the rouge tiger? It is said that after the death of the wicked Could it be that the villain Yan Zhihu also turned into a ghost after death to take revenge on me?" Although she usually doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, the situation in front of her is too weird to explain, so she gritted her teeth and said loudly : "Yan Zhihu, I was the one who killed you. You have a debtor and a debtor. You turn into a ghost and take your life. Don't get others involved."
Yao Jianghan was surprised and said: "Ah Qing, what did you say?" Yao Qing smiled sadly and said: "The rouge tiger killed my mother, and I killed her to pay for her life. I stabbed the sword on her back."
Yao Jianghan said angrily: "No wonder Xiao Chen said that you killed him. Your mother died of illness. What does it matter to her? Xiao Chen and your mother are as close as sisters, how could you harm her?" Yao Qing sneered: "You are such a fool ,do not know anything."
Yao Jianghan was furious, and said sharply: "The dead girl has turned her back? If you die, I will kill you first and clean up the house." He was always arrogant, but when he suddenly suffered this setback, he didn't realize his temperament changed drastically. He only felt that everyone was hateful. People deserve to be killed, so with a swing of the long sword, it stabbed at the daughter.
Yao Qing didn't expect her father to disregard the relationship between father and daughter, and ruthlessly attack her. She was stunned, even if she tried to dodge, she couldn't even blink.Only then did she feel the wind of the sword blowing up, the blade had already passed by her neck, the air was cold, and the pain was piercing to the bone. In an instant, she suddenly felt someone pull her hard, and dragged her back.
Yao Qing looked back, but it was Lu Jian, and beside him stood the barbarian girl in red with a Persian cat in her arms.Looking at my father again, I saw him staring at me with a fierce face, raising his sword and swishing to stab, but unfortunately when he drew the sword, he was already deflected, and he couldn't stab at his side no matter what.
Lu Jian asked strangely, "Sister Xianbi, what's wrong with him?" The barbarian girl sighed, "I disturbed his sanity with the technique of 'chaoshen'. He can see it, but he can't pierce it."
"Lu Jian!" Yao Qing was stunned, then angry, "You actually colluded with the witch."
Lu Jian said awkwardly: "Ah Qing, Sister Xianbi is not a witch, thanks to her for saving you just now, or..."
"Who cares for her to come to rescue?" Yao Qing said loudly, "It would be better if I was, I was killed by my father." At this point, tears flowed down her snow-white cheeks.
Xianbi sneered and said, "I don't care to save you, I just want to see Lu Jian's face." Hearing this, Yao Qing felt sore for no reason, and said angrily, "Lu Jian, if you call her sister again, I'll call her sister from now on." I don't want to talk to you anymore." Lu Jian looked at Xianbi, saw her smiling and silent, then looked at Yao Qing, but her eyes were full of anger, and she felt very embarrassed, and said, "Ah Qing, sister Xianbi saved my life , if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be able to kill Yan Zhihu."
Yao Qing showed confusion, and was about to ask, but Xianbi said indifferently, "Lu Jian, don't talk nonsense." Lu Jian sighed and said nothing more.
It turned out that Lu Jian saw Yao Qing chasing Yan Zhihu and wanted to follow, but felt dizzy. He pushed down the bookshelf and hugged Yan Zhihu, almost exhausted all his strength, and was kicked by Yan Zhihu in the knee, causing unbearable pain.Just when he felt anxious, he suddenly saw a red shadow flashing, and a woman stood in front of him.
Lu Jian knew that it was the barbarian girl in red shirt that he had seen in the forest, so he asked, "How did you get here?"
"Why can't I come?" the barbarian girl said with a smile, "Yaojiazhuang is not a den of dragons and tigers." Lu Jian struggled a bit, but couldn't get up, and tears rolled in his eyes.
"Stupid boy!" the barbarian girl sighed, "You really like this Ah Qing so much?" Lu Jian blushed and couldn't speak.The barbarian girl shook her head and said: "Although this girl is young, she has a deep scheming and ruthless means. Many adults can't match her. If you like her, you will definitely suffer a lot in the future."
Lu Jian shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid." The barbarian girl said, "She lied to you, but you are not afraid?" Lu Jian still shook his head.The barbarian girl said again: "What if I want to kill you?" Lu Jian hesitated and asked, "Why would she kill me?" The barbarian girl said: "Sometimes people's hearts are very strange, and Ah Qing is not ordinary. Girl, if she finds out that there is something more important than you, she may harm you."
Lu Jian seemed to understand, thought for a while, and sighed: "If so, I'll let her kill her."
The barbarian girl looked at him with slightly distracted eyes, and suddenly sighed: "What a fool. However, if all the men in the world were like you, there wouldn't be so many poor women in this world." Zhise, sighed again, and helped Lu Jian up. Lu Jian only felt that the place on the back of his heart where she was holding her was warm and numb.Yi Nu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it was a bit sad at first, but it was very comfortable later on."
Lu Jian only felt the hot air in his body, and gradually gained strength, and the pain on his knees seemed to dissipate. When the barbarian girl withdrew his hand, he stretched his hands and feet, but felt comfortable all over, and couldn't help but said happily: " My sister is really not lying."
The barbarian girl said, "That's not necessarily the case, but I only lie to smart people, not fools." Lu Jian was wronged and said, "Everyone says I'm stupid, am I really stupid?" Not stupid, but too honest." After saying that, he waved his hands and said, "Famhaut."
In response, a snow-white Persian cat jumped down from the beam and slipped into the arms of the Yi girl.Lu Jian asked strangely, "It's called Fomalhaut?" Yi Nu nodded and smiled, "It's the king of stars in the southern sky, the brightest Fomalhaut." Lu Jian said, "It's a cat, not a star?" Yi The woman smiled and said: "It is as great as a star. If it weren't for it, you would not be able to live. It saved your life. You have to thank it."
Lu Jian suddenly realized that he couldn't move just now, but the Persian cat suddenly appeared on the beam, and then he was able to move.If it weren't for this, it would be very difficult for him and Ah Qing to survive.Although I don't know how the kitten saved him, but Yi Nu said so, it must be true.Immediately, he bowed respectfully to the cat, and said, "Fomalhaut, thank you. After I finish helping Ah Qing, I will catch the best fish for you to eat."
After finishing speaking, he bowed to the Yi girl again, turned around and left.Yi Nu smiled and said, "Are you going to help that little girl?" Lu Jian hummed.Yi Nu said, "Do you know where they are going?" Lu Jian unconsciously shook his head.Yi Nu sighed: "What a fool." After saying that, she supported his elbow, Lu Jian's whole body lightened, and he got up. Strangely, a gust of wind blew in his face, and Lu Jian's eyes were dazed. When he opened his eyes, his body was gone. Outside the study door.
Lu Jianqi asked, "Sister, what are you doing?" The barbarian girl smiled and said, "Take you to find the little girl." Lu Jian was very grateful, and said, "Sister, my name is Lu Jian, what's your name?" "The barbarian girl smiled and said, "My name is Xianbi."
Lu Jianqi said: "Your name is so strange, it's just like your appearance, it's very strange." Xianbi said: "What's so strange, I was born in the far, far west. I also think you are very strange." Lu Jian thought for a while and asked, "Is it Persia or Daqin?" Xianbi snorted and said strangely, "You are young, but you know a lot." Lu Jian said, "My grandfather is A sea traveler, he said that the farthest to the west is Daqin, and the second is Persia."
Xianbi sighed: "My hometown is much farther away. Your Ming officials call it Yingjili on the map of all nations."
Lu Jian was fascinated: "In the future, I will have a sea boat, and I will go to my sister's hometown to have a look..." Suddenly he paused, and looked up, but saw Xianbi's surprised expression, and was about to ask a question, suddenly With Xianbi covering her mouth, her hands were warm and soft, with a delicate fragrance like orchids, which smelled very comfortable.
Xianbi flashed behind the rockery and said softly, "Lu Jian, don't you think it's strange that you haven't seen anyone after walking so far."
When she said this, Lu Jian also remembered that he hadn't seen anyone along the way.Suddenly, Xianbi said: "Shut up." Lu Jian only heard a soft rattle.Looking through the gap in the rockery, I saw two maids walking from the left, with strange steps, stepping out with one foot, and slowly dragging the other foot up.
Xianbi waited for the girl to go away, frowned and said, "I'm late." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly supported Lu Jian and jumped up.Just hearing the sound of a wave, a silver bright water arrow hit the rockery, splashing water and stone chips flying everywhere.Lu Jian looked back, but it was Zhuang Ding in Tsing Yi, with puffy skin and dull eyes, suddenly raised his head, and spit out a water arrow from his mouth.Xianbi landed on the top of the rockery, and with a wave of his sleeve, the water arrow seemed to be wrapped in an invisible force in mid-air, turning into a ball of shining water, spinning around in the air, but did not fall.
Tsing Yi Zhuang Ding's mouth was full of water arrows, forming a water column, connected to the water polo, so that the water polo continued to expand, gradually becoming the size of a skull, it was always suspended in the air, and never fell.However, Lu Jian felt that Xianbi's body was burning hot, and when he looked up, her snow-white cheeks were dyed with a bright rosy color at some point, and her blue eyes were shining like stars.Zhuang Ding's skin looked dry, Lu Jian couldn't help screaming when he saw this wonderful sight.
The two went up and down, stalemate for a few breaths, the water polo swelled to the size of Castanopsis, Xianbi took a breath, the water polo suddenly sank, the water polo spun and jumped, as if trying to break free from the falling position, but there seemed to be a huge amount hidden in the ground. Suction, the water polo turns smaller and smaller, and in an instant, all of it melts into the soil, leaving only a little wet mark.At the same time, Zhuang Ding jumped forward and did not move.
Xianbi wiped off the fine sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "It's dangerous." Lu Jian's heart was pounding, pointing at Zhuang Ding, he said, "What's wrong with him?" Xianbi said, "Dead."
Lu Jian was startled, but Xianbi murmured, "Today is bad." Lu Jianqi said, "What did you say?" Big villain, I can't handle it, I'm afraid this Zhuangzi will be ruined."
Lu Jian was surprised and asked: "Does he have any grudges with the Yao family?" Xianbi shook his head and said, "No grudges, but he came this time to snatch an important thing, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get it, so he used He made an extremely vicious method, and he did not hesitate to accompany the lives of everyone in the village."
Lu Jian's heartbeat became even more violent, and he said with difficulty: "Quanzhuang's life, what about... what about Ah Qing?" Xianbi said calmly, "I'm afraid she is already dead." Lu Jian's face lost all color, and he said loudly :"I do not believe……"
Xianbi said: "Why did I lie to you? I came here for that thing. But the wicked man knew that I was coming, so he used Zhuang Ding to demonstrate and let me quit. If he didn't use such viciousness Way, with the support of Fomalhaut, I can still fight. If I stay here now, I will end up like Zhuang Ding..."
She suddenly felt that Lu Jian was struggling, and she couldn't help but get angry and said, "You know you're going to die for nothing, so you want to go?" Lu Jian's eyes turned red, and tears burst into tears, and he gritted his teeth, "If she dies, I won't live either... "
Xian Bi was puzzled, "What's so good about that little girl that it's worth your life for her?"
Lu Jian blushed, bowed his head and said, "I don't know why, as long as I see her, I feel very happy. If I don't see her, my heart feels empty, as if I lost something."
When Xianbi heard this, she couldn't help but sighed, and said in her heart: "If that person treats me half as much as this child treats that girl, I will live my life in vain."
Thinking of this, she suddenly gritted her teeth, and said coquettishly, "Fomalhaut, Luan Shen." The Persian cat let out a soft cry, and the dark pupils became a thin slit.
Xianbi supported Lu Jian, flew up, swished twice, two water arrows shot in the air, collided with each other, overflowing with crystal light, Xianbi swept away the water spray with a flick of his sleeve, and saw only silver light Flashing, more than ten water arrows came.But none of them fell close one after another.Xian Bi shouted: "Kun Yuan." Fomalhaut's pupils shrank in response, sharp as needles.
In an instant, the air around Lu Jian's body swirled rapidly, and the blue tiles on the roof seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, soaring into the sky, densely layered, forming two barriers.
Suddenly seeing a black shadow flickering, the seven servants leaped onto the roof, nimble as if flying, water arrows as thick as the mouth of a bowl spit out from their mouths, the water arrows approached, and the roof tiles shattered.With a meow from Fomalhaut's gate, the hair on his neck stood on end, Xianbi's face turned pale suddenly, he stamped his feet, jumped up more than ten feet, floating like a paper kite, and landed behind those servants, a silver rainbow spewed out from his sleeves, Lu Jian just Hearing the piercing sound, he looked back and saw the skulls of those servants rolling down.
Lu Jian said in amazement: "You, how do you kill people?" Xian Bi held a long, slender soft sword in her hand and panted, "Don't make a fuss, they are just the living dead. Once they become water ghosts, they are considered dead." While speaking, another ten servants jumped onto the roof.
Xianbi tightened her grip on the sword in her hand, revealing a wry smile.Just now the seven "Water Soul Swords" gathered the energy of the seven "Water Ghosts", and they were extremely powerful. Although Xianbi blocked it, his internal energy was greatly shaken, and he was forced out of the sword for a while.But the "Water Soul Sword" is unpredictable and pervasive, only her own internal strength can resist it, if she uses ordinary weapons to deal with the enemy, if she is not careful, she will take advantage of it.
In the midst of the dilemma, I suddenly saw the flames in the distance soaring into the sky, which would disappear in a flash. Those "water ghosts" jumped out of the room one after another as if they were summoned by the invisible, jumped more than ten feet, and ran to the distance.
Xianbi showed joy, and helped Lu Jian to run forward. She expected that if Yanzhihu asked for help, she would definitely find Yao Jianghan, so she went straight to the front hall.While running, I suddenly saw many "water ghosts" running towards the front hall, I couldn't help being secretly surprised, and suddenly heard a muffled sound, and couldn't help but change my face, and cried out: "Sword of Sick Blood!" Looking at the roof of the living room, I saw Yao's father and daughter surrounded by water ghosts, arguing about something.
Seeing that Yao Qing was fine, Xianbi was relieved, and Lu Jian felt even more happy, and was about to shout, when he saw Yao Jianghan's murderous face, he raised his sword and stabbed at Yao Qing.
Xianbi has experienced many battles, and when he saw Yao Jianghan's expression, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly launched the "chaotic god" technique.Yao Jianghan's heart was shaken, he stabbed with the sword, Xian Bifei fell down, and as soon as he landed, Lu Jian rushed out desperately and pulled Yao Qing back.
Unexpectedly, when Yao Qing was sad, she actually took out all her grievances on Xianbi.Xianbi took the risk to save people, but ended up like this, I really can't laugh or cry, I didn't bother to argue for a moment, I just sneered.
Seeing her father behaving insanely, Yao Qing was sad and sad, and couldn't help but said: "Demon girl, quickly undo my father's witchcraft." Xianbi became more and more annoyed, and said in her heart: "If it wasn't for my witchcraft, would you Are you alive?" In a fit of anger, he unlocked the Chaos God Art.
The secret technique was solved, and the lightning flashed, and Yao Jianghan suddenly stabbed the air with his sword.He is known as "A Thousand Rivers Don't Flow", even though Xian Bi has amazing abilities, he can't dodge such a sharp sword in a hurry, he only has time to let the vital point of his chest pass, the blood flashes suddenly, and the shoulder has been pierced.
It turned out that Yao Jianghan's mind was disturbed, and his ears were still hearing. Everyone heard what they said. He only suspected that these strange things were all done by Xianbi. Then stab.
Xianbi's long sword touched her body, and she swept back in response to the situation, and the long sword came out of her body. She almost fainted from the pain, but she saw Yao Jianghan's second sword coming again, and heard Lu Jian's cry of surprise. The name "Water Ghost" was behind him.
For some reason, those "water ghosts" gathered there without moving.Yao Jianghan was jealous, so he bypassed the water ghost with his long sword, and stabbed Xianbi again.Xianbi rolled twice in a row, the blood gushed out of her shoulder, suddenly felt that her arms were empty, Fomalhaut had already jumped out.
Yao Jianghan focused on Xianbi, and couldn't help but notice that the Persian cat was bowing its legs, its neck hair was standing on end, and its eyes were emitting a faint blue light.Yao Jianghan was about to use a move of "stealing the dragon and turning the wind", but his mind went blank and he forgot how to use it.He was in a daze, the sword slowed down, Xianbi got out of the sword again, and made a sudden move of "Striking the Eagle in the Sky", but after using half of the move, he forgot how to continue the second half of the move.Yao Jianghan was frightened and angry, and then changed into "Zhilan Yushu", "Storm Rain", "White Horse Crossing the Gap", "Auspicious Light Piece Feather"... Unexpectedly, each move only made a small part, and the latter half could not be remembered. There were originally seventy-two moves in the "Duan Shui Sword Art", but when Yao Jianghan used the seventy-second move, he suddenly realized that he could not remember a complete "Duan Shui Sword Art".
Seeing that Xianbi was in danger, Lu Jian was about to desperately rescue her, but Yao Jianghan used half of his trick of "sneaking chickens and dogs", and suddenly turned into a "thorn sparrow". "In short, Lu Jian recognized every move up to "Horse Hair and Bird Feather", but Yao Jianghan didn't make enough of every move, and swung his long sword in the air, never stabbing out.
Lu Jian was surprised, and Yao Qing also opened her eyes wide.Suddenly Yao Jianghan staggered, his long sword drooped, and his eyes were blank.It seems to have lost its soul.Lu Jian rushed forward and helped Xianbi up.Yao Qing also supported her father, but was thrown away by Yao Jianghan. He frowned, as if he had encountered a huge problem, and murmured: "The next move, what is the next move?"
Yao Qing said urgently: "Father, what's the matter with you?"
Xian Bi stopped the bleeding, recovered her breath, her face was as pale as paper, and sighed: "He has acquired the art of extreme wisdom, and his sword skills have been useless." Seeing that Yao Qing didn't believe it, she sneered in her heart and raised her voice: " Brother Yin, you are aiming for the portrait of the ancestor of the Fire Department, and now that my little sister has no strength to fight for, I still hope that Senior Brother Yin will let my little sister survive."
Suddenly I heard a gloomy voice quacking and laughing: "Junior Sister Xianbi said this a little late. Once you enter the 'Water Soul Formation', you will be a water ghost. Not only did you break into the formation, but you also disturbed your brother's Formation, so that Ning Bu ran away in vain, it is really an unforgivable crime. Hehe, I just feel sorry for my brother, I will not kill you for now, I will talk to you a few words of my own when I am free later." The voice of the man was erratic. , as if every time he said a word, he changed his direction, and after he finished speaking, he changed dozens of directions.
Xianbi heard the obscene meaning in his words, her heart skipped a beat, and she sneered, "What good things do you have to say? It's not about the idea of making a portrait of my 'dibu' patriarch."
那姓阴的笑道：“仙碧师妹聪明，画像自然要的，但师妹天生美貌，更有异域风情，为兄也是倾慕已久了。”
仙碧啐道：“少说这些不尴不尬的废话。你今日也太过恶毒。'水魂之阵'是水部禁术，当年城主灭你水部，便是因为此阵以活人化剑，太伤阴德。再说，姚家庄的'断水剑法'源自先天八剑的'坎剑道'，论起来也算你水部旁支，你竟不念香火之情，灭他满门。”
那姓阴的冷冷道：“这姓姚的既是我部旁支，剑法却叫'断水'，绰号又叫'千江不流'，大干老子之忌，水若断，江不流，我水部神通如何施为？哼，灭他满门，也是活该。至于那姓万的老鬼，还说他作甚？就算他仍在人间，我'水魂之阵'已成，他又能奈我何？”
仙碧嗤的一笑：“水部始终改不了井底之蛙的脾性，城主已通天道，周流六虚，法用万物，水部萤火之光，岂能与皓月争辉。”
那姓阴的略一沉默，冷冷道：“你自寻死路，可怪不得人。”
仙碧神色陡变，一手按地，喝道：“坤元。”地上青砖陡然掀起，筑成一道内凹外凸、密不透风的坚壁。同时间，水鬼们齐齐张口，“水魂之剑”四面射来，青砖粉碎，水箭纷纷弹开。
仙碧身受重伤，使出一次“坤元”，已无力再使，正当此时，忽听一串爆鸣，西北角三棵垂柳齐齐着火，腾起数丈烈焰，却只一霎，水箭喷至，烈焰顿灭。
那姓阴的冷冷道：“宁不空，你的'火龙子'又少了三颗？”数十道“水魂之剑”忽地射出，击中一面墙壁，墙壁碎裂，火光迸出，一名青衣人跳将出来，浑身雾气蒸腾，情状狼狈。
那姓阴的哈哈笑道：“妙啊，又少一颗。”
忽听仙碧喀的一声，吐了一口鲜血，肩窝鲜血不绝流出，雪白的双颊透出青灰之色。陆渐将她扶住，急道：“仙碧姊姊，你，你怎么了。”
仙碧摇摇头，惨笑道：“宁师兄，可惜，功败垂成。”那青衣人青衣方帽，仪容丰伟，闻言点点头，脸上却冷冷淡淡，殊无喜怒。
姚晴瞧得青衣人，吃惊道：“宁账房，是你？”
那青衣人正是姚家的账房，闻声瞥她一眼，淡然道：“晴小姐受惊了。”姚晴奇道：“你就是宁不空？”那宁账房不再理她，扬声道：“阴九重，出来吧，我不信你全无损伤。”
那姓阴的哼了一声，众人眼前一花，庄门前多了一名灰衣人，他面目肿胀，神色呆滞，与那些水鬼竟无二致，只是衣衫上多了几个烧焦的孔洞。
“宁不空。”阴九重冷冷道：“就是这几个破洞，也亏得有地部的娘儿们帮你。”
原来宁不空施展火遁，藏在暗处。阴九重虽也知他便在附近，却不知详细方位，故也隐匿踪迹。二人一时势成僵持。仙碧深知其理，故意出言激怒阴九重，阴九重即便说话，也用上“流音术”，不令人捉摸到声音来源，可一旦发动“水魂之阵”，气机流转，顿时暴露藏身之处。
宁不空见机，连发三枚火龙子，本指望一击必杀，只需阴九重一死，这“水魂之阵”立时告破。此时忽见阴九重衣衫虽破，身子却是无损，不由得暗暗纳闷。忽听仙碧低声道：“宁师兄，他练成了'无相水甲'。”
宁不空恍然大悟。阴九重嘿然道：“仙碧师妹见识虽然超卓，却不够机变，你天赋异禀，身兼两家之长，'坤元'、'乱神'、'绝智'，都是当世绝学，且有北落师门相助，若是趁我与宁不空交手，逃之夭夭也非不能，但为何坐以待毙？这其中原由，为兄好生不解。”
仙碧冷笑道：“你这等草菅人命的败类，当然不知其中原由了。”
阴九重瞧了瞧仙碧，又扫视陆、姚三人一眼，忽地拍手大笑：“有趣，地母娘娘的女儿，西城城主的义女，竟然转性要做大侠？哈哈，有趣，有趣！”他面目浮肿，这一笑将起来，竟比哭还难看。
宁不空冷冷道：“阴九重，你既然练成'无相水甲'，方才是有意引我出手吧？”
“不错！”阴九重道，“若我所料不差，你身上的'火龙子'已然告罄了。”
宁不空道：“何以见得。”
阴九重森然笑道：“方才机会难得，你必然倾力一击，是故一发三枚。但以你奸猾之性，必会留下一枚，防我伤重反噬。可惜我练成'无相水甲'，你一击无功，又遭反击，不得已，剩下的那枚火龙子只好用了，火部绝学，无器不发，而今你火器告罄，还有什么法子？”
宁不空不置可否，皱眉道：“奇怪，你何以认定，火部的祖师画像，定会在宁某手里？”
阴九重道：“瑶池一战，八部中火部损失最惨。据我所知，火部高手，逃脱大劫者，只有宁师兄一人，画像若不在宁师兄手里，岂不怪哉？”
“阴九重。”宁不空眼中精芒一转，“你欺我火部无人？”
阴九重笑道：“自古弱肉强食，火部衰微，自然成了他部鱼肉；想当年，我水部为万老贼重创，人丁单薄，你火部不也趁机下手，抢夺我部的画像么？”
宁不空沉默半晌，从袖间取出一支卷轴。阴九重见了那支卷轴，呼吸一紧，呆滞的眼中闪过一丝神采。
“阴九重，'火龙子'我是没有了。”宁不空手抚卷轴道，“但你猜一猜，我若运转'周流火劲'，这画像会当如何？”右手所过之处，那卷轴尽变焦黄。
阴九重厉喝道：“住手。”
“怎么？”宁不空哈哈笑道，“阴师弟猜到了么？”
阴九重涩声道：“宁不空，你是要玉石俱焚了？”
宁不空道：“以图换命，宁某绝不做赔本生意。”阴九重摇头笑道：“我只要画像，要你性命作甚么？”宁不空摇头道：“水无常形，水部的人最为善变，你要我怎么信得过你？”
阴九重道：“那师兄说如何？”宁不空道：“你须得立个水部的绝誓，再让这些水鬼后退五丈，空出大门。”
阴九重面上怒意闪过，但终究笑道：“好，我阴九重对列代祖师立誓，取图之后，不得伤害宁师兄，若有违背，令我御物不成，反为物噬，借水不得，反为水灭。”
姚晴听这誓言并非十分恶毒，心中纳罕，却不知水部高手修炼一生，以水为剑，深知“善泳者溺”的道理，这个誓言对其而言，乃是绝誓。
阴九重立誓已毕，手一挥，众水鬼纷纷后退，留出大门。阴九重笑道：“宁师兄，要不要师弟给你开门。”
“那倒不必。”宁不空道，“你既然立了誓，我便信你一次。”仙碧见状，急道：“宁师兄当心，这人丧心病狂，不可深信。”
宁不空摇摇头，正要抛出画像，阴九重摆手道：“且慢，你将画像丢在地上。”宁不空笑道：“你还怕我弄鬼么？”当即将卷轴抛出，仙碧心头一凉，顿觉大势已去。
阴九重却不亲自上前，招来一名水鬼，拾起卷轴展开，但觉无诈，方才接住，笑道：“宁师兄真是信人。”话音方落，忽见那卷轴上出现一点焦痕，急速扩大。阴九重陡然变色，欲要丢弃，却又不甘，但这火不同凡火，火势离奇，他稍一迟疑，那卷轴腾地燃烧起来，阴九重疾喝一声，两道水流循腕而出，阻挡火势。
仙碧也不防如此奇变，转眼望去，只见宁不空右手掌心攥了一颗拳头大小的水晶圆球，对准日光，华彩逼人。
仙碧脱口叫道：“天火珠。”
宁不空蓦地收起火珠，掠上戏台，一发力，折下一根支撑戏台的木柱，大喝一声，向阴九重掷去。此时阴九重专注运转水甲，救那画像，冷不防木柱撞来，当即运起一道水剑，这道水剑来自他附身之水，威力之强，绝非“水魂之剑”可比，一击之下，足以将台柱击得粉碎，刹那间，木水相交，轰然巨响，那截台柱迸裂作千百细碎火光，夺人眼目。
阴九重发出一声长长的惨呼，倒退数步，撞中身后大门。他衣裤尽毁，簌簌飘落，浑身赤条条的，道道流水交织成网，如贴身铠甲，从脸至足流转自如，正是阴九重所倚仗的“无相水甲”，只需这层水流，刀剑火器，均不能伤。
“好一个木中藏火，力碎千军。”仙碧露出惊畏之色，“宁师兄不愧为火部奇才，竟练成了失传百年的'木霹雳'。”
宁不空掷出台柱，倒退数步，盯着阴九重，呼吸浊重不堪。他方才借“天火珠”聚光成火，点燃画像，逼得阴九重运转附体之水灭火。但凡水部高手，必有附体之水作为水引，引动天下之水。附体之水一动，“无相水甲”必生破绽，宁不空折柱掷出，木柱中蓄有无匹火劲，乍看无奇，一遇外力，火劲迸发，木柱崩裂，势如天雷轰击。
这引火、断柱、蓄劲、掷木，寥寥数下，包含宁不空平生武功智能，若然无功，有死无生。
阴九重身周“水甲”越转越快，清亮水流却渐成淡红。仙碧心头一喜：“伤着他了。”
水甲变红，正是鲜血入水所致，宁不空不由吐了一口气，他方才有意示弱，隐匿“天火珠”与“木霹雳”神通，正是待这致命一击。如今一击得手，已立于不败之地。
阴九重既悔且怒，目光阴戾。众水鬼忽地拖着步子，齐齐向宁不空奔来。
宁不空又折断一根柱子，注入火劲，奋力掷出，撞中一名水鬼，化作满天火雨。水鬼倒下一片。继而宁不空取出“天火珠”，引燃前厅，火部神通尽得于火，旁人遇火避之不及，而火部高手火势越强，越是如鱼得水，以火为剑，足以焚杀诸天。
须臾间，四周屋宇树木均被点燃，化作一片火海，阴九重“水甲”被破，身受重伤，“水魂之阵”全凭他内力作引，方能运转，此时自然威力大减。之前水强火弱，宁不空备受压制，而此时阴九重一着不慎，反被宁不空占得先机，强弱之势瞬间逆转，虽说水能克火，可一旦水弱火强，火亦能克水。宁不空引火为剑，火光纵横，织就道道火网，盘空扫出，一名水鬼着火，身周水鬼无不随之燃烧，满地乱滚，只因神智已失，唯有呀呀哀嚎，情状惨不可言。
仙碧只觉身周急剧增温，心知火部绝学一经展开，燎原焚林，威力之大更胜水部。虽有“坤元”护体，仍觉炎气逼人，当即叫道：“陆渐，快走。”
陆渐点头道：“阿晴，我们走吧。”姚晴也知形势紧迫，急扯父亲衣袖道：“爹爹，走吧。”不料姚江寒仍是喃喃自语：“下一招，下一招是什么呢？”
要知他一生苦练剑法，不料所有剑招忽然忘记，怎也想不起来。如此剧变，就是天崩地坼，也难相比，是以竟然变得傻了，四周虽是水火交煎，他却只管凝神苦思，无论姚晴怎生拉扯，也不动弹，陆渐上前相助，姚江寒蓦地一声大叫，挣脱二人，反向庄内奔去。
姚晴虽恨父亲糊涂自大，信任宵小，令母亲沉冤多年。但终究父女连心，血浓于水。情急间随之奔出。却见姚江寒神智混乱，竟向火势最盛处奔去，一道火光凌空闪过，姚江寒浑身火起，凄声惨叫。
此时宁不空以火为剑，抵挡水鬼，但凡活物近身，便引火焚烧，忽觉来人近身，当即发出一记火剑。这火蕴有他的“周流火劲”，一星一点，足以致命，姚江寒浑身火光熊熊，扭曲数下，便即扑倒。
姚晴见父亲被焚，尖叫一声，飞身扑上，忽觉身后一凉，一股湿意沁入后心，顿时浑身虚软，头脑迷糊，但觉有人抱住自己，继而一股热流循头顶注入，体内那股湿意微微消散，头脑略清，欲要叫喊，却又无法出声，只听得陆渐急道：“仙碧姊姊，她怎么啦？”仙碧叹道：“她中了水毒。”话音未落，姚晴心头又是一迷，倏尔昏了过去。
仙碧不料节外生枝，姚江寒被烧死，姚晴又被“水魂之剑”击中，眼看陆渐眉眼通红，不禁喝道：“男子汉大丈夫，不许哭哭啼啼。”
陆渐被她一喝，按捺伤心，问道：“姊姊，如今怎么办好？”仙碧道：“土能克水，如今之法，唯有送她去昆仑山，求家母救治，但当务之急，却是先出庄子。”她从怀中摸出一个小瓶，倾出一颗龙眼大小的淡红色药丸，纳入姚晴口中，说道：“这是城主当年赐我的'亢龙丹'，能激发她自身潜能，抗拒水毒，再以我的内力护持，或能挨到昆仑山。”
陆渐心下稍安，但想若是无法解救，姚晴就会变成那些水鬼一般。想到这里，端地揪心无比。
仙碧见庄门紧闭，石墙高耸，换在平时，越墙而过，不在话下，而今内外皆伤，又有陆、姚二人，此法不可再行，当即探了探墙角，寻到一块土壤松软之地，运气凝神，双掌按地，叱声：“坤元。”
掌下泥土应声旋转，须臾间露出一个大洞，恰供一人进入。仙碧哇的一声，又吐了一口血，喘气道：“陆渐，你和阿晴先走。”
陆渐心知情势危急，但那地洞狭窄已极，唯有拖着姚晴前进。地道长约丈余，通到庄外。陆渐跳出地道，仙碧也随后钻出。
遥听得人声鼎沸，不少乡人拥在庄前，捶打大门。但因姚家庄近海，故而修筑之时，为防倭寇海贼，无论门墙，均修得高大坚固，易守难攻，故此大门紧锁，反而阻挡了救火之人。
众乡人只在门前喧闹，未曾瞧见三人从地道出来。陆渐正想招呼，仙碧忽道：“陆渐，别声张。”陆渐不解，仙碧道：“我不想见外人，再说人心险恶，我和阿晴均是女子，又受重伤，若是遇上歹人，无法自保。”
陆渐只得携了二人闪入一片草丛。方才坐定，仙碧蓦地惊道：“陆渐，你，你瞧见北落师门了吗？”
陆渐四处瞧瞧，道：“没见到呀。”仙碧倏地变了脸色，哆嗦道：“糟啦，我，我只顾逃命，竟将它丢下了。”话未说完，已是泪眼朦胧。陆渐自与她见面以来，从未看见她如此惊惶难过，忙道：“或许它先跑出来了。”
仙碧一边落泪，一边摇头道：“不会的，北落师门若非迫不得已，必会与我同生共死，不会独自离开。”说到这里，欲要挣起，奈何伤势太重，又以坤元之术打通地道，此时几近脱力，站了一半，又支撑不住，坐倒在地。
陆渐一转念，道：“仙碧姊姊，你代我看护阿晴，我去找北落师门。”仙碧急道：“怎么成，庄内险恶，你连武功也不大会，一旦进去，如何自保？”陆渐不答，起身向庄子奔去。仙碧欲要阻拦，但苦于浑身无力，只得勉力按捺心神，运转玄功，力求恢复。
